Just this morning I got a dark pyramid artifact (among other things)... been waiting to see that one pop up for a few days now... so I went attempt the "Darkness Falls" mission (requires 75 energy, 1 dark pyramid, 1 void shell)... says i didn't have a necessary artifact... so i went back to my artifacts, and now the dark pyramid is gone

is it intentional that artifacts required for a mission will still be used up even if you don't meet all requirements for attempting a mission?

Thanks for the report. We'll look into that mission to see where the issue is.

what makes it even worse is i should've had several void shells (because as i said, i was waiting on the dark pyramid) but evidently must've lost them by attempting the mission a few times before i got the pyramid


and this is not the only mission i've seen it happen on.... the "Thetacron Mines" mission requires an omicron mine...... I had 10 omicron mines the other day, and I've attempted the mission only 5 times (got myself a thetacron mine) .... and then tried one more time and got an out of energy msg.... i just checked and now only have 4 omicron mines

The "Darkness Falls" mission is still eating artifacts if you don't have one of each...

I had 7 pyramids and 4 void shells, and hit the button 4 times putting me at 3 pyramids and 0 void shells....

...then I hit mission one more time (just to see if this was fixed yet)... I got the proper error message, but it still ate a dark pyramid
